Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 3 tablespoons Honey (for marinade)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Zest
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)
For the Rice and Toppings
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice (or basmati)
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 pieces Avocado (diced)
  • 1 small Red Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 4 pieces Lime Wedges (for garnish)

Method
 

Marinating the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, coat well, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking the Rice
  1. In a pot, combine jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until rice is fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove and let rest for a few minutes.
Preparing the Avocado Rice
  1. Fluff the rice and then gently mix in diced avocado, red onion, and cilantro.
Assembling the Stack
  1. On a plate, layer the avocado rice and slice the chicken on top. Garnish with lime wedges.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Consider adding chili flakes for a spicy twist or using jackfruit for a vegan option.
